Trump might visit UK in May after Brexit, says US ambassador

Envoy suggests president would like to return to Britain for state visit after exit from EU

Donald Trump might visit Britain in May 2019 after the country’s departure in March from the European Union, the US ambassador to Britain, Woody Johnson, has said.

Asked whether the state visit promised last year by Theresa May could be rescheduled to coincide with a commemoration of the end of the second world war in May, Johnson told BBC radio: “Between you and me, I think that would be a good time.”
